It seems like these types of shows are active again. TV shows, exhibitions, etc. In Melbourne anyway. I would just like to hear your opinions on how or if they affect the market at all. Perceived value? Inflated prices?

Just wondering your thoughts on what effect might be. The area is predominantly middle class, median is probably $500 - $550k, existing facilities, major freeway with industrial and commercial areas on the next suburb. The blocks average around 400m2 and from what I've seen so far, the houses...

Property Manager that is. I did a search and there seems to be a few threads asking for good PMs in their areas. So what makes a good PM in your opinion. This question is for both investors with PIs and PMs on this forum. Cheers.

I've been watching bits and pieces. Hadn't been aware of it till some weeks ago. It's funny how most of the people presenting their ideas are mostly unprepared specially with the numbers side of things. One of the few shows I watch from time to time nowadays. Anybody else watch it?

Looks decent for a couple of hundred bucks. More interested in hearing Harv Eker as got his book. Apart from Trump, Kiyosaki, Robbins, and maybe Spann, the other speakers I don't know much about and the others are kinda suspect. :rolleyes...

Here's the scenario. The property is 670m2 on a corner block five minutes walk to the train station 28km east of Melbourne CBD. A potential future development for 3townhouses in the future. The bank valuation is more than $500k but just wanted to be conservative with the figures on a worse...

Just want to ask the question specially for people that live around the mining areas.

Business I mean. Apart from investing in property and maybe stock market, what else is out there? Are there opportunities for the service industry? I'm currently working in a hardware based industry and see that there might be opportunites because of the lack of customer service. There are a...

Thanks for taking the time to respond Belbo, much appreciated. I tried to send you a PM in response to your post but I have no luck so I'm doing it here. I do not overrate uni as I've met people who are successful that didn't have a degree or whatever but a degree, specially a property degree...

Here's the scenario. You lost everything you have and starting back from scratch. You are working in a job with $75k (or whatever figure you want) pay pa. You probably have around $25k in savings. You are renting, no other assets. How would you start? What are you going to do first...
